Membership

The ERES (European Real Estate Society) PhD Network brings together like-minded individuals who share a passion for real estate research. Members of this network meet annually during the ERES congress to exchange ideas and opinions and stay up-to-date with the latest research opportunities, conferences and calls for journal publications through regular communications from the PhD network committee.

PhD students who participate in the ERES annual conference automatically become members of the PhD network for a period of two years.
The best part? Joining the ERES PhD Network is completely free of charge!
If the PhD students graduate and obtain their PhD title before the two-year period is over, their membership will conclude, and they will become standard participants of the ERES annual conference.

Funding for PhD Students Participating in ERES Annual Conference

The European Real Estate Society (ERES) will provide a limited number of scholarships up to €500 for full-time doctoral students currently enrolled at a European University to present a paper in the doctoral session of the ERES Annual Conference. Receipt of an ERES Scholarship will also entitle the holder to a refund of the early-bird-PhD-conference fee (in addition to the €500 scholarship) which includes a one year membership of ERES and access to the Journal of European Real Estate Research. Kindly note that you are expected to settle registration and payment of your expenses for the conference in advance. The refund will take place after participation in the ERES annual conference.

+ Applications are due no later than March 1st (CET, Midnight), and we will make acceptance decisions by March 29th.
+ Decisions for acceptance will be based on where you are in the thesis process.
+ You are not eligible if you have received the ERES PhD grant in the past two years (conferences).
“Local students” within a 250km radius of the Conference will receive no travel subsidy. However a conference registration reimbursement may be granted depending on circumstances. If your home institution is supporting your travel, accommodation and subsistence, the amount received from ERES will be reduced accordingly.
